Share this: It’s certainly not surprising that Novak Djokovic has a chance to win another Grand Slam, but his path to the U.S. Open final has been anything but standard. Two of Djokovic’s opponents in New York have retired early, and he also earned a walk-over victory. As a result, he’s only played 14 total sets in six matches, and none of those have come against Roger Federer (injured), Rafael Nadal or Andy Murray. But that “free ride” will end Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium when he faces old nemesis Stan Wawrinka in the men’s final. Wawrinka isn’t a “Big Four” member, but he’s made a strong case to extend it to five with his two Grand Slams since the start of the 2014 season. Tennis

Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineup: Can Eduardo Rodriguez Continue Solid Run?
Share this: Everything went right at just the right time for the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Can they carry that momentum into Saturday? The Red Sox’s bats exploded against the Toronto Blue Jays in their series opener at Rogers Centre, as Rick Porcello earned his 20th win in a 13-3 victory.

What Injuries To Rob Gronkowski, Patriots Linemen Mean For Jimmy Garoppolo
by Zack Cox on Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 10:09PM 1,786 Share this: Jimmy Garoppolo’s first true NFL test just got a whole lot more difficult. The New England Patriots quarterback, who’s set to start the first regular-season game of his career Sunday night against the Arizona Cardinals, now will be forced to do so without his starting left tackle (Nate Solder), a player who likely would have started at right guard if healthy (Jonathan Cooper) and arguably the league’s most dangerous offensive threat (Rob Gronkowski). Solder, Cooper and Gronkowski all officially have been ruled out for Sunday’s season opener, further hamstringing a Patriots offense that already was without suspended superstar signal-caller Tom Brady. How will these developments change New England’s game plan against an Arizona defense

Here’s how this one went down. GAME IN A WORDRelentless. Boston’s offense scored in six different innings and Porcello delivered another strong outing as the Red Sox rolled over a Blue Jays team that looked a bit out of sorts
Jackie Bradley Jr. Debuts New Outfield Dance After Red Sox Beat Blue Jays
Share this: From Rick Porcello’s 20th win of the season to an offensive explosion, there was a whole lot to like about the Boston Red Sox’s win Friday night. But the most interesting development might have come after the final out. The Red Sox’s outfielders have made a habit of celebrating each win this season with a special dance that ends with the star of the game posing while the other two pretend to take his picture. After Boston’s 13-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, though, Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Brock Holt gave their dance a little extra twist. Behold, “The Ski Jump:” As it turns out, Bradley’s new dance didn’t come out of, ahem, left field. In fact, the Red Sox center
